Turkey Day Report

An epic day on Thanksgiving. Went to the Saugatuck in hopes of a searun brown. Instead I hooked my first ever CT steelhead in brackish water! I was swinging the same fly tied below for the Salmon. I also hooked up in fresh water a beautiful native tiger trout. Will get pics up second I get a new camera usb cord. Tied up an interesting pattern for these sea run brownies, a pattern that just might imitate a sea lamprey. Check out the stinger fly and the two purple bucktails. This is to imitate a lampreys arching back as it moves through the water. Youtube sea lamprey swimming and you'll see what I mean.

Heading to Naugatuck in the morning to best my salmon of last week, see you out there!

About Me

The Western Long Island Sound is my church and my playground. I have been fishing for as long as I can remember and at the age of 12 I received my boaters license, a 13' whaler, and the rest is history. Fishing to me has always been not a lifestyle but a way of life. Growing up a stones thrown away from my boat in the long island sound I was fortunate enough to have the luxury and privilege to operate a boat from such a young age. Spending more time on the water then on land I naturally began to consistently stalk and anticipate where the fish will be on the days given conditions. I have traveled all around the world fishing and still am amazed at how world class the western long island sound can get just a 45 minute drive from New York City.
